Urdu voices

  • Rehnuma Zainab (Female)

    A mature female voice, composed and warm, that gives Urdu its full dignity.

  • Rehnuma Akbar (Male)

  • Rehnuma Shahid (Male)

    A calm, soft-spoken male voice that stays easy on the ears through a long book.

  • Rehnuma Arfa (Female)

    A crisp female voice with a newsreader’s poise, made for headlines and quick updates.

    An elegant male voice for poetry and polished prose.

English voices

  • Rehnuma Akbar English (Male)

    Akbar’s own voice in English, so a sentence that mixes Urdu and English sounds like one speaker.
